Education • <br />• Discuss the concrete management techniques described in this BMP <br />with the ready -mix concrete supplier before any deliveries are made. <br />• Educate employees and subcontractors on the concrete waste <br />management techniques described in this BMP. <br />• Arrange for contractor's superintendent or Certified Erosion and <br />Sediment Control Lead (CESCL) to oversee and enforce concrete <br />waste management procedures. <br />• A sign should be installed adjacent to each temporary concrete <br />washout facility to inform concrete equipment operators to utilize the <br />proper facilities. <br />Contracts <br />Incorporate requirements for concrete waste management into concrete <br />supplier and subcontractor agreements. <br />Location and Placement <br />• Locate washout area at least 50 feet from sensitive areas such as storm <br />drains, open ditches, or water bodies, including wetlands. <br />• Allow convenient access for concrete trucks, preferably near the area <br />where the concrete is being poured. <br />• If trucks need to leave a paved area to access washout, prevent track - <br />out with a pad of rock or quarry spalls (see BMP C 105). These areas <br />should be far enough away from other construction traffic to reduce <br />the likelihood of accidental damage and spills. <br />• The number of facilities you install should depend on the expected <br />demand for storage capacity. <br />• On large sites with extensive concrete work, washouts should be <br />placed in multiple locations for ease of use by concrete truck drivers. <br />On -site Temporary Concrete Washout Facility, Transit Truck <br />Washout Procedures: <br />• Temporary concrete washout facilities shall be located a minimum of <br />50 ft from sensitive areas including storm drain inlets, open drainage <br />facilities, and watercourses. See Figures 4.1.7 and 4.1.5. <br />• Concrete washout facilities shall be constructed and maintained in <br />sufficient quantity and size to contain all liquid and concrete waste <br />generated by washout operations. <br />• Approximately 7 gallons of wash water are used to wash one truck <br />chute. <br />• Approximately 50 gallons are used to wash out the hopper of a <br />concrete pump truck. 0 <br />Volume II — Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - August 2012 <br />4-48 <br />
